To all wkom t may concern: y

Be 1t lmown that we, 'JACOB BOTTLANDER and JOHN PAFFRATH, citizens of the United States, residing at Ford City, in the county of Armstrong and State of Pennsylvania,

-have invented new and useful Improvements in Moving-Picture Apparatus, of which the following isa specification.

This invention relates to moving picture apparatus and it has for its object to pro- A teet the film from the intense heat of the arc or other light-,used for illuminating pur-V poses.

. The present invention has particular ref'- erence to thatclass of vprotecting devices which includes a transparent vessel filledwithfwater, anda particularl object of the invention is to provide means for permitting a continuous flow of water in order that the .I contents of the transparent vessel may be Kept at a low temperature. y

A vfurther object of the ,invention is to provide means whereby the water used'in the transparent vessel shall be filtered so as to be perfectly clear and'free from impuri-` ties.

With these and other ends inv view which will readily appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the saine con.

sists in the improved construction and novel arrangement and combination of parts which will be hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings has been illustrated a simple and preferred form of' the invention, it being, however, understood that no limitation is necessarily 1made to the precise structural details therein eX- hibited, but that changes, alterations'andY Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a I cylindrical vessel metal or othersuitable Fig. 2 is a sectional detail` material, thev ends of which are threaded for the reception of clamping rings 2, 2 serving to retain in position the end members 3, 3 which are made of clear crystal glass. Tashers or gaskets 4 of any suitable material maybe employed for the purpose of insuring a perfectly tight fit- The cylinder 1 is suitably connected with a feed pipe 5, the upper end of which is suspended from a suitably constructed. joint 6 whereby it is flexibly connected with one end of a supply ypipe 7, the other end of which is connected with a filter casing 8. The joint 6 may be of any suitable construction which will admit of the pipe 5 swinging like a pendulum in an approximately vertical plane, and the .several parts may be lthreaded together or assembled in any other suitable, convenientand well known manner. y

The filter casing 8, which has been shown .as being'supportediupon legs 9, is connected with a source of supply by a feed pipe '10 having a valve 11. The feed pipe 10 which 'extends through the bottom'of the filter casing carries within` said casing a strainer 12 which is surroundedby filtering material 13,

-the latter being rsecured by one or more 'sheets' of felt 14`and a wire screen 15,.the upper end of the casing constituting a chamber for the filtered water. Thecylindrical casing 1 is provided .with a downwardly eX- tending discharge pipe 16 having-a controllingvalve 17 and which is connected by a fiexib'le hose 18 with a waste pipe 19.

The jointfrom. which the swinging pipe 5 is suspended is located. and supported in suitable relation to the moving pictureap'- paratus which includes the lamp box or lightbox 20, the film box 21'and a funnelshaped hood 9,2 whichl is interposed between the water receptacle and the light box, said hood being preferably constructed of or lined .with asbestos or other suitable refractory and heat-repelling material.

It is evidentv that Vby proper manipulation of the valves 11 and 17, the flow of water through the filter and through the re`- ceptacle l may be controlled, thus enabling t-he water that is heated by exposure to the lighting apparatus to be constantly drawn olf and replaced with water of a lower temperature, the inliowing water being previously filtered and rendered perfectly free vfromimpurities which would interfere with 110 the successful use of the device.

The. water receptacle may be readily.

SWung penduiun'i-Wise -to either eide of the apparatus, as indicated m dotted 'hnes in Fig. 9 being` thus mov-ed to positions where it Will not interfere with (the manipulation of they apparatus. Having thus what is claimed as new, isz- In a moving picture apparatus the conibination with a iight bonY and a hn box7 ot a `fu1me1-shaped hood supported adjacent -to the lightbox, a wateiieceptaeie nterposed between the hood and the ihn box,
